Hello and thanks for stopping by! My name is Angela. I am a scientist, wife, cat-mom, and fitness enthusiast. This page is my personal blog, and you will find a range of topics, centered around healthy living. Why “The Chicken Scoop”? Well, when I started this blog, we had just gotten a small flock of chickens and the name just stuck! I hope you enjoy your visit!

After listening to the comments on my last post, you ladies are right! It is not worth the stress of trying to make up every single workout. I do need to do better about following or adjusting the schedule though to make sure I’m not slacking off. Here is my success calendar so far, with missed workouts omitted.

Hello everyone! I know, I’m done with school and my blogging has been even more sporadic than ever! That is because I am trying to get ready for my trip to Florida and spend as much time with friends and family as possible. Being so busy lately though means that I have had a few missed workouts…

Now that week 1 of Focus T25 Alpha phase is over, I can talk about the DVDs! The Alpha phase has 6 DVDs plus I received a bonus DVD for ordering trough my Beach Body Coach. After doing each workout, I wrote down my first impressions so these are my initial reactions to the DVDs. First impressions can change so I’ll let you know

I’m almost done my first week of Focus T25! Wow, it went so fast! Once I finish today’s workout and do the stretch over the weekend, I write a full recap of all the DVDs. For now, let’s talk about what Focus T25 is and what my plan will be for the next 10 (9?) weeks.
